    And yes, I know I murdered every bug in the entire state of Louisiana. Trust me, more are on their way to smash into everyone else’s bumper next week.

    Thanks

    Took my time seperating the oem insert from the color matched bezel w/no broken tabs! Can't show it on the truck yet due my truck having front end damage from hitting a deer last week. Can't wait now for truck to get fixed. Thanks guys for all your help!

    Clean! Fit perfectly and had no issues with the install. Took maybe all of 20 minutes to get the two switched out. Loved the old grill I had made but it was time to switch things up!

    My tracking number never really worked.
    Had a “label created” but no tracking info. Just showed up yesterday without any warning.

    Mine came yesterday, a day early. I won't be able to check it out until Monday :(

    I think I'll bite the bullet now and get the color matched surround

    Mine arrived yesterday, way faster than I expected given my Canadian address. Installed today with only minimal agonizing over unclipping the old grill from the surround. Everything worked, and the fit is absolutely perfect. Thanks to OP jp_flynavy for organizing and shepherding along the group buy. While it was another TW inspired purchase that I really shouldn’t have, I am glad I did. And for the record, I will be staying with my chrome surround.

    Scratches, dents, lots of squeaks.
    Finally got around to installing mine. Plastidipped the chrome grill trim

    Install was very simple and took 20 minutes, be sure to watch the video on youtube on how to separate the trim surround from the grill insert .....quality of the grill is the same as OEM, no modifications required to make it fit. Satisfied customer.

    Hi everyone! I wanted to see if there would be interest for round 3. I am hoping to offer grills for those with 2005 - 2011 Tacoma's in this batch as well.
    For any future deliveries, I will be asking to remove the signature service, since it causes a lot of headache for few buyers.

    Thanks all!

    I'm in for a round 3, I have a 2014. Could you offer the side parts too to completely black out the front grill? Got my truck with the front ones rattled canned with some type of linex or rustoleum...the guy did not prep it properly.
